Ok you guys seriously, I must have like the hardest ferrets to switch ever. Punk won't eat duck soup, he won't eat raw meat, he won't eat thawed out mice. And that's after not eating barely anything for like 20 hours. I mean COME ON lol. Why is this so hard haha. Honestly, even though I'm a vegetarian, I think it would be easier to feed them a whole prey diet. Except guinea pigs, couldn't do those. I put Punk and Shiza in their dog kennel I have for when they're sick or for traveling. Left them in there for like 20 minutes, and put a towel over it to make them feel secure. All they did for that 20 minutes was scratch to get out. When I opened it, Punk grabbed the mouse and stashed it under my bed, but they hadn't touched it. Would it be better to offer a live mouse? I'm just worried they won't eat that either and I'll just have this little mouse, or they're kinda get it but leave it half alive, and that would just be horrible lol.
I'm definitely going to switch to the EVO cat food and Nature's Variety rabbit formula, if my natural pet food place has the NV. At least they'll be eating a little better kibble until my little tactics start working lol. Right now I have a small amount of Zupreem left so it'll be a relatively quick switch over but since Punk has barely eaten in a day, I figure he'll be fine.
Willy and Shiza eat a commercial raw frozen diet too. I mix it with water in the blender and freeze it in ice cube trays. I give them 2 ice cubes, thawed obviously, mixed with water, about 3 or 4 times a day. I force fed Punk a little duck soup w/a syringe and he still was having nothing of it.
Anyone have any suggestions for me? lol Is their diet at least satisfactory, after I get them on the EVO and NV at least? Someone please help me lol.
